The fire occurred in the kitchen of an eight-bedroom self-contained house. A distress call was received at 3:46 p.m., prompting the dispatch of an eight-member firefighting crew led by Assistant Divisional Officer II (ADO II) Avornyo. The team arrived at the scene within minutes and brought the fire under control by 4:12 p.m., completely extinguishing it four minutes later at 4:16 p.m.
